HOROSCOPES BY HOLIDAY:

ARIES (March 21-April 19). A deal is on the table. The scope of this feels large — like it will bring you everything forever or nothing ever again. Try to calm down about it because it’s not as drastic as it sounds. Anyway, it’s too early to decide.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20). Maybe nothing is anyone’s responsibility. Bickering over who should do something to help is petty, ugly and weak. Your philosophy: Those who got lucky and are doing OK should help those who didn’t, period.

GEMINI (May 21-June 21). Your aim to increase the happiness and/or reduce the suffering of those around you will be fulfilled at little cost to yourself. You’ll simply move toward the thing that feels better.

CANCER (June 22-July 22). As for the bad decision back there, it’s time to forget it. Did you really have that much of a choice? Anyway, that’s how it went and there’s no benefit in thinking further into it. What’s your plan today? That’s what matters.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22). Socially skilled, you are punctual, you order fast and you get to the point. Making people wait is rude unless you can’t help it, or unless you are artfully helping people anticipate what is to come to heighten their enjoyment.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22). You have something worth sharing, so do. Be crisp. Use as many words as you need to get the point across and no more. Be transparent. Hold nothing back. Make the other person’s understanding your only desire.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 23). What’s complicated isn’t smarter; what’s costlier isn’t richer. Today’s inaccessible things aren’t worthwhile anyway. So don’t worry. You’re

not missing much by skipping the doors that are closed to you.

SCORPIO (Oct. 24-Nov. 21). Your day will be inspired by love and guided by knowledge. Wanting anything beyond this is just greedy — but hey, that’s a part of being human. Keep your joyful tone and much will be accomplished.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21). Life can’t go according to plan if you have no plan. Maybe that will be a good thing today. There were some shortsighted aspects to your vision and that will be remedied once you get away from it a while.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19). Your life will be more of an inspiration than your words ever could be. So before you set out to inspire anyone, think about what would feel inspiring to you and do that.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18). There’s a chance that meaning inside the main event of the day is nonexistent until assigned. You’d be wise not to chase it or think too hard about it. Just name it and move forward.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20). Our brains already tend to build the narratives that we prefer to believe. What’s going to happen when we can take it to the next level with memory implants? The science-fiction future will be today’s creative playground.

IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You want to be admired and supported, not envied and controlled. You’ll get free of oppressive influences and shine in new ways this year. Your tendency will be to work very hard. Taking vacation days may actually prevent you from having to take sick days! Scorpio and Capricorn adore you. Your lucky numbers are 9, 27, 1, 29 and 45.
